Another song that I haven't heard or played for years, but one of my all times favorites. I know my version is far from the original, that's good, I'm just not too satisfied with my voice on it... I was just happy playing it again and I might record more of my favorite songs in the future if my voice still cooperates!!!
More Johnny Cash covers coming soon or you want to hear my rendition of Justin Bieber's BABY? =]]

  • Shane , I have not been exposed much to the ukulele and def not on a Johnny Cash classic ........... hmmmmmm you have a way of making everything your own and I like that. good job :) Would you consider doing a cover of Tennessee flat top box ? it is one of my favorites and I know this would be a song that you would find enjoyable to do. Merci pour le partage! ~ Joe

  • @Masterjdiddy - THANK YOU Joe! I learnt how to play ukulele on Cash songs! Ring of fire was my obsession! I'll think about it... =)

  • c'est très apaisant quand tu chantes en t'accompagnant au ukulélé !

    très bien ! Continue ! en + tu as de bons goûts musicaux.

  • @MrRaphD - MERCI !!

  • Hey, great voice, Shane! One of my favorite songs!! You did an awesome job! You should do some more Johnny Cash covers!. Keep it up!!

  • @iRockfan178 - Thank you so much for subbing, I love the background of your page too. In fact Cash is one of my favorite singers that I could cover dozen of his songs right now if I want to, and I'll cover more here, but I also try to have a variety, so i don't bore my subscribers with my cashaddiction =]

  • Your voice and using the instrument of choice makes this song so completely different is a good way. In Johnny Cash's voice you hear the harshness of his life. Your version is like a voice of innocence almost telling the future. Great work, Shane.

  • A complete departure from the rugged Johnny Cash original, and yeah, as I'm reading other comments, I agree that the choice of instrument, the style, and your voice, give it an innocence that I've never even HEARD in the song before. I totally love it.
